Possible Indoor Gardening with HID Lightning - A Garden Sage Lesson

The latest lighting technology for indoor gardening is the double-ended (DE) lighting, specifically the 1000 DE by Gavita.

The 1000 DE lighting has the ballast directly connected to the ignition sites with high-temp LEDs. The bulb is fired from both ends, resulting in the most complete ignition of gas and the highest amount of light for 1,000 watts.

Yes, the reflector in the 1000 DE lighting is replaceable. This is important because reflective materials do not last forever, and replacing the reflector every 2 years will ensure optimum production.

The 1000 DE units are controlled by the Gavita Master Controller, which is linked to the units using phone cords. The Master Controller has options for sunrise to sunset settings and allows for easy on and off control of the lights.

The 1000 DE lighting can cover a 6x6 square foot area, while the 750 Flex can cover a 5x5 square foot area. This coverage area should be considered when planning the layout of your garden.

It is recommended to have a ceiling height of at least 9 feet when using the 1000 DE lighting. The plants should be placed 60 inches away from the lighting, allowing them to grow within 36 inches of the lights. However, there may be some flexibility depending on the specific strains being grown.

The 1000 DE lighting is not suitable for home use as it requires a high ceiling height and specific placement distances. It is more suitable for professional or commercial use in indoor gardening.
